Biography
Kevin joined MIT EECS and RLE in Fall 2018. His research focuses on engineering nonlinear and quantum-mechanical light-matter interactions using superconducting circuits. The goals are twofold: to explore quantum mechanics in engineered systems such as metamaterials and to develop the quantum technology necessary for quantum computing to be successful. He received a BS in physics from Purdue University, a PhD in physics from UC Berkeley, and completed postdoctoral work at the UC Berkeley developing high-coherence superconducting quantum processors.
